GlyphGL: Open-Source C/C++ header only lightweight OpenGL text renderer

Hi y'all I'm very happy to share GlyphGL, a new minimal project I wrote from scratch that requires zero dependencies It's a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Macos) header only C/C++ library designed for simplicity and absolute control (still under development) No FreeType: It contains it's own ttf parser, rasterizer and renderer No OpenGL Loader: GlyphGL includes it's own built in loader that handles all necessary OpenGL functions and pointers across many platforms, although it can be disabled using GLYPH_NO_GL_LOADER Compatibility: GlyphGL is written with C99 syntax, meaning it can be ported easily to other platforms Performance: Although still under development and lacking heavy optimizations (like SDF rendering and other advanced techniques), GlyphGL remains notably fast thanks to its efficient batch rendering system

i'm open to criticism to help this project improve and grow, so if you find any issues, bug or need some clarifications, please comment in the thread or pull an issue in the repo!

    Is this vibe-coded?

    Variable naming cases differ between snake/camel cases even they are at same row?

    Uses GCC instrincics that are not in MSVC, so not cross-platform.

    No comments in code to explain anything at all.
